mitsubishi electric is still the best. most people whose mitsubishi keep breakdown is because of poor piping installation. small diameter piping, many sharp bents all make yr compressor high load for nothing.

i used to work in a big ahbeng renovation coy. aircon manufacturer have this running hour lifetime, and mitsubishi electric has the highest. go figure
What is difference between Mitsubishi Electric and Starmex?

I just replaced my Starmex aircon. The master room always not cold. Wanted to upgrade a higher BTU fan coil, but contractor said my model is obsolete since more than 10 yrs old. Need to replace whole system. 🤪
New system :

My Mitsubishi aircon 10 years now need to on 18 deg than cold.

aircon tech told me need to replace it but I moving house next year so just ignore and wait until it totally die off
I did that last time, ask me to change spoilt compressor, always on one, cant switch off when off the fcu, must power off from power socket near aircon ledge, no choice do that for 3 months lol.

The other My living room 18000k btu died 6 months before moving house also, bochup as repairman ask to repair for $1k or suggest to replace. I said leave it lol

6 years is actually not a long time for a multi split system. THe daikin i bought in 2007 for my parents place lasted around 12 years. But this daikin i bought in 2016 is really regret. Its quality totally down the hill. The support which is the most important aspect of aircon service life also cmi.
i agree with u, cos i am also using daikin

my first daikin lasted 17 years before it uplorry.

i also installed this new daikin and changed all the piping in 2016.

thru out the years, i already serviced / repair 3-4 times. not the compressor tho. rather the fan unit itself.

i every 3-6 mths will call ppl come down do a thorough cleaning and maintenance.

i think next aircon shall be mitsubishi liao.
